Video
[Seeing herself looking back at herself in the little window on the corner of her monitor, Korra gave a stumped look and tapped the little camera lens that the desktop was using. Seeing her huge finger tapping back at her caused her a smile and she cleared her throat. Music can be heard from the speakers.]
Ahem. Hello. My name's Korra, I just got here. I'm the Avatar, but I'm not too sure that means anything here. [She looks both angry and confused, immediately wondering why she just thought of that now instead before.] But anyway, the kedan informed me that I should probably get a job. [Of course it probably sounded a lot nicer when they said it.]
So if anyone knows of a good place to work at, I'd appreciate the help. [She leans forward and puts her forehead in her hand, admonishing herself for not bringing up what she would able to do for work.] Um, I'm a bender, I can create fire and move water or earth around or into just about any shape or form you need? [Ice sculpting crossed her mind. She'd never given any thought to it. Then again she was never too artistic to begin with.] I don't know if fire matters? Burning things doesn't sound a like it'd be in big demand...
Also I'm a former pro athlete! If there's any kinds of sports going on I'd like to get into that! [A smile spreads across her face.] Doesn't even have to be a job, just for fun.
I'm in the Metal Sector if that helps. If anybody's from there we can meet up and you could fill me in a little more about this place? Looks pretty cool to be honest. Oh, and food, meeting at a restaurant would be good. [She stares at her monitor screen with her lips pushed to one side of her mouth.] And any advice or pointers on these things- [She points at the monitor, which just seems like she's pointing at the viewers.] would be welcome too. The kedan gave me a quick once over for it, but I'm not sure that's going to be enough.
[There's an long awkward pause as she looks left to right nervously.]
Yeah, that's about it.

Yeah, that's about it.

I don’t think I’m good enough at airbending to do that yet.
video;
video;
[And she thought he was a bit hyperactive before.] Well some of them have switches, but the traditional ones open by pressure, I think. But yeah, I can draw them. They’re really simple.
[Then her eyes widen as a thought strikes her brain and her energy hits a spike.]
Would you be able to build one? How much would you charge!?
[If she could get one, it might help her practice airbending better just like Ikki and Jinora used them. Or maybe even cause all that airbending training to finally click!]
video;
Good thing Leo's too focused on wanting to build this glider stick thing that he totally forgets to unintentionally insult your intelligence!]
If you got the sketches then of course I can build one! And for a literally hot girl like you, it's free of charge.
[EYEBROW WAGGLE.]
video;
That would be the best thing EVER! [She’s frantically looking for that paper and pencil, which is right on her desk.] I’ll draw them up right now! When can I give them to you? Do you prefer pen or pencil? How much time would it take? How do I find you? Do you like noodles?
[Ikki would be jealous of how fast her questions fly out in rapid succession.]
video;
[whoa he actually picked up all of that huh]
video;
What’s a tac- Tell me later! [Ain’t nobody got time for that! Must draw!]
video; → action?
[He would comment on her excitement if he weren't excited himself, so instead he just gives her a nod and shuts the feed, a.k.a. he is on his way!]
Action is a go!
I’ll leave the door unlocked!
[After the feed cuts she pushes in the sliding keyboard and grabs a ruler from the large cup holding her writing utensils. Fully furnished housing had its perks. It’s not too long before she’s done her drawing and has decided to add some colored pencils for giggles.]
Woo-hoo! \o/
And he makes his way to the Metal Sector, another place that he is really familiar with because he is only like, there most of the time, scavenging for metal scraps! This time, though, he heads to the apartment number she mentioned, and once he reaches there, gives the door a knock first anyway before stepping in.]
Are you done? [Said a little too excitedly ok.]
action;
Yes! [She holds up the somewhat crude design with pride.] It should be a bit longer since I was thinking of the glider staffs my master’s kids used, so maybe an extra foot on the whole thing? But yeah, the wings fold out here [Excited pointing at the wings which anybody could find on that piece of paper on their own Korra.] and smaller ones here at the end.
And I was thinking maybe using metal instead of wood since I don’t want to accidentally burn it with firebending. Oh! And it’s good to meet you in person Leo. [She holds out her hand for a handshake.] So what are taco sandwiches?
action;
So he's actually distracted when she offers her hand, but he pulls himself forcibly away from his thoughts and takes her hand, grinning.] Please, call me Lord of Awesome. [And a mild pity forms on his expression then.] Seriously, your world doesn't have taco sandwiches? Man, you're missing out! Want me to make you one?
action;
How about Lao for short? On second that I may already know a Lao, so let's stick with Leo. It's close enough. [Everyone saw what you did there Korra.]
Sure! I've never said no to trying out something new. Is it spicy?
action;
Yeah, okay, whatever. [And he raises a pointer finger.] Hang on a sec, okay?
[He has a brown toolbelt wrapped around his waist, which he reaches into and pulls out some ingredients, even if they look like they're too big to fit in it.]
action;
Do you always carry food with you...? [She doesn't want seem like that's fazing her at all, but Korra's finding that pretty hard to do.]
Especially with the rationing going on? [Trying to figure out how he doesn't get mugged just for the scent of food is itching her brain. The Metal Sector seemed pretty rough, but the Fire Sector must be much nicer.]
Re: action;
action;
Whoa, hold the telegraph. Did you just say that belt gives you anything and needs to recharge?? [He had to be pulling her leg and simply packed the food when they were talking about food earlier.]
Yeah, but I never used it so you're on your own figuring out how it works.
action;
Anyway, I know how to operate a stove, no problem. And seriously, telegraph?
action;
Yeah, apparently we’re pretty limited on technology back home. Especially nothing like that, [She points at the console which she sort of left on.] or stove top taco sandwiches.
What materials would you need for the glider? I might be able to get some of it together.
action;
[Don't mind him he's just going to barge into your kitchen collecting cooking materials and stuff now.]
I'd need some metal, but there's a lot I've salvaged from the Metal Sector already. I'd also need some Nylon and Ripstop material, though if you can get silk, that works pretty well too. Other stuff like bolts and screws I can just pull out of my toolbelt.
[...Also he might have switched the stove on just by a wave of his hand.]
action;
Hey… [Elemental manipulation is just so easy to spot though.] How did you do that? [Refraining from saying “Firebending?” was hard because it was all she knew and it was impossible since he’s from an entirely differently world.]
action;
[And he pauses for a moment, looking a bit distracted at her question and scratching his head.] Huh? Oh, you mean the stove? I... turned it on? [Because that's how you do it, right? Switch on stuff by controlling them with your powers of mechanical manipulation?]
action;
Yeah. From here, without going here. [Being the snot she can be sometimes, Korra waves her arm in between him and the stove. Have a half a squint. Now that belt starting to sound a little believable.]
Are you a superhero Leo? [Yes, she asking very seriously with arms folded and pursed lips. Because being able to turn on a stove top is a super power somehow.]
action;
[He chokes all of a sudden at the superhero comment, then laughs.] Superhero? No thanks, I'd rather not wear skimpy tights with brightly-colored underwear over it. I'm a demigod. [Yeah because that's totally more believable, isn't it?]
action; These two are killing xD
[Korra just might get a crash course in believability.]
action; I KNOW i just can't
